  1. Third Party Logistics / Fourth party Logistics PRESENTED BY MUHAMMAD ALI

  2. Introduction –Why Focus on 3PL Organizations are seeking ways of creating value Value is created through competitive advantage Cost advantage & Differentiation advantage are two types of competitive advantage

  3. Introduction – Cost and Value leadership • For companies who find themselves in the bottom left hand corner of competitive advantage matrix the world is an uncomfortable place, concerning sustainable competitive advantage.  • In many industries, logistics costs represent such a significant proportion of total costs that it is possible to make major cost reductions through fundamentally re-engineering logistics processes, in order to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. •  goal is to achieve sustainable competitive advantage through both cost reduction and service enhancement.

  4. Introduction • Terms such as " Logistics outsourcing " " Logistics alliances " " third party Logistics " " contract Logistics " and " contract distribution " have been used inter-changeably to describe organisational practice of contracting-out part of or all logistics activities that were previously performed in-house 1PL , 2PL , 3PL • Anyone having goods moved from their place of origin to their new place is considered to be first party logistics provider. • A second-party logistics provider (2PL) is an asset-based carrier, which actually owns the means of transportation. Typical 2PLs would be shipping lines which own, lease or charter their ships; airlines which own, lease or charter their planes and truck companies which own or lease their trucks

  5. Definitions • Third Party Logistics (3PL): Outsourcing all or much of a companies logistics operations to a specialized company • Third Party Logistics Provider: A firm which provides multiple logistics services for use by customers. Preferably, these services are integrated or “bundled” together by the provider. These firms facilitate the movement of parts and materials from suppliers to manufacturers and finished products from manufacturers to distributors and retailers. Among the services which they provide are transportation, warehousing, cross-docking, inventory management, packaging and freight forwarding.

  6. Logistics Profile: UPS Logistics Group UPS Logistics Group signed a five-year $150 million deal to manage National Semiconductor’s global supply chain distribution center in Singapore. The DC uses radio frequency, bar-code scanning, and web-based technology. Fills >450K orders per year; receives 12 million inbound chips daily; and ships four billion products per year on sales of $2.1 billion.

  7. Why 3PL • Providing better quality service • Limiting investment opportunities • Cost reduction > Control • Political considerations • Focus on core competences • Customers demand order accuracy , excellent service and time compression

  8. WHY 3PL From the previous slide, it is clear that the effectiveness and the efficiency of the logistics process, together with a coordinated and integrated supply chain management, plays a key strategic role in a time-shrunk , world wide market place . In this competitive scenario, where financial resources are limited , many manufacturers have also understood that their core competences are not in the logistics-field, and have therefore progressively sought to buy logistics services and functions from third party service providers .

  10. Outsourcing - Industry Trends Findings of a Survey : Why company's Outsource

  11. IS 3PL ONLY CONCERNED WITH TRANSPORTATION ACTIVITES ?

  12. Outsourced Logistics services SOME OF THE MAJOR OUTSOURCED ACTIVITES

  13. Services Provided By 3PL’s

  14. 3PL- Externalization of Logistics activates 3PL includes any form of externalization of logistics activities previously performed "in-house". If, for example, a company with its own transport facilities, decides to employ external transporters, this would, be an example of third party logistics. The same applies to a company which closes its warehouse and instead uses an external warehouse.

  15. Types of 3PL Providers • 3PLs are external suppliers that perform all or part of a company’s logistics functions, including: • Transportation • Warehousing • Distribution • Financial services • Terms contract logistics and outsourcing are sometimes used in place of 3PL.

  16. Types of 3PL Providers • Transportation-Based • Services extend beyond transportation to offer a comprehensive set of logistics offerings. • Leveraged 3PLs use assets of other firms. • Nonleveraged3PLs use assets belonging solely to the parent firm. • Ryder, Schneider Logistics, FedEx Logistics, and UPS Logistics are examples of 3PLs.

  17. Types of 3PL Providers • Warehouse/Distribution-Based • Many, but not all, have former warehouse and/or distribution experience. • Transition to integrated logistics has been less complex than for the transportation based providers. • DSC Logistics, USCO, Exel*, Caterpillar Logistics, and IBM are examples of warehouse/distribution-based 3PLs. • * Exel regained their position as the world’s largest after an acquisition, recently purchased by DHL**

  18. WMS / TMS RATHER THAN OFFERING WAREHOUSE AND TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES SEPERATELY , MANY 3PL PROVIDE INTEGRATED FACILITY

  19. Types of 3PL Providers • Forwarder-Based • Essentially very independent middlemen extending forwarder roles. • Non-asset owners that capably provide a wide range of logistics services. • AEI, Kuehne & Nagle, Fritz, Circle, C. H. Robinson, and the Hub Group are examples of forwarder-based 3PLs.

  20. Types of 3PL Providers • Financial-Based • Provide freight payment and auditing, cost accounting and control, and tools for monitoring, booking, tracking, tracing, and managing inventory. • Cass Information Systems, CTC, GE Information Services, and FleetBoston are examples of financial-based 3PLs.

  21. Types of 3PL Providers • Information-Based • Significant growth and development in this alternative category of Internet-based, business-to-business, electronic markets for transportation and logistics services. • Transplace and Nistevo are examples of information-based 3PLs.

  22. Relationship Perspectives AS A SC MANAGER CAN YOU AFFORD TO KEEP A 3PL AT ARMS LENGTH OR SHOULD YOU BUILD A CLOSE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH YOUR 3PL PROVIDER ?

  23. 3PL VS OTHER ACITIVITES WHY BULID A CLOSE STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR 3 PL PROVIDER 3PL is more complex than normal outsourcing of logistics activates .When speaking of 3PL a true partnership condition is usually assumed because • Strategic nature of services purchased • Buyer of 3PL realizes that synergies can be achieved by exploiting the logistics provider distinct competencies

  24. Services Offered by Third Party Logistics Providers THE TRADE OFF BETWEEN COST AND CONTROL WOULD DETERMINE WHAT LEVEL OF 3PL SERVICES AN ORGANIZATION ACQUIRES, THAT RANGE FROM STANDART TO COMPLETE

  25. Shifts of Logistical Operations in the Internet Economy TECHNOLOGY HAS ALLOWED 3PL TO OFFER COMPELX AND WIDE RANGING SERVICES TO THEIR CLIENTS

  26. SERVICES OFFERD BY A TYPICAL 3PL PROVIDER • WHAT SURVICES TO PURCHASE ? • Cloth retailer • Computer Manufacturer • Glass manufacturer

  29. Buyers of 3PL Services GREATER THE NUMER OF COMPONENTS INVOLVED IN MANUFACTURING MORE 3PL ACTIVITES WILL BE OUTSOURCED

  30. Evolution of 3PL The evolution of 3PL market is explained with reference to three distinct phases

  31. ACTIVITY NUMBER 1

  32. FINDING OF A SURVERY CONDUCTED BY EYEFORTRANSPORT 173 logistics professionals from manufacturing and retail companies responded to the survey, which was conducted by eyefortransport. Responses were contacted in a targeted email campaign that included select trade associations, industry related databases, and other highly specific groups.

  36. Advantages and Disadvantages of 3PL CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OTHER ADVANTAGE OR DISADVANTAGE ?

  37. 3PL BUYING PROCESS 3PL buying processes comprises of 5 steps (1) identify the need to outsource logistics, (2) develop feasible alternatives, (3) evaluate and select a supplier * (4) implement service (5) assess ongoing service performance.

  38. 3PL BUYING PROCESS Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) process in which a decision maker chooses, under several selection criteria, the best option among alternatives.

  39. Selecting your supplier using MCDM

  40. A typical 3PL contract includes Contract terms ( number of years ) Cost per activity Service and activities description Service levels Bonus payment for excellent performance Penalty clause for service failure Allocation of roles and responsibilities , risks and insurance costs Contract termination clause

  41. 3PL example The partnership between Ryder Dedicated Logistics and GM Saturn division is a good example of 3PL. Saturn focuses on automobile manufacturing and Ryder manages most of Saturn other logistics considerations. Ryder deals vendors, delivers parts to the Saturn factory in Spring Hill, Tennessee; and delivers finished vehicles to the dealers . Saturn Orders parts using Electronic Data Interchange ( EDI ) and sends same information to Ryder. Ryder makes all the necessary pickups from 300 different suppliers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico using special decision-support software to effectively plan routes to minimize transportation costs.

  45. 4th PARTY LOGISTICS ( 4PL )

  46. 4th Party Logistics Fourth-party logistics (FPL or 4PL) is an emerging new outsourcing concept. Andersen Consulting has defined FPL as: "A supply chain integrator who assembles and manages the resources, capabilities, and technology of its organization with those of complementary service providers to deliver a comprehensive supply chain solution". FPL can be considered as a comprehensive supply chain solution which combines the capabilities of management consulting, IT technology and TPL-providers.

  47. Third and Fourth Party Logistics Providers 3PL 4PL Modes 3PL 3PL Parts and RawMaterials Distribution Centers Manufacturers Consumers Retailers 3PL Management

  48. Difference between 3PL and 4PL FPL differs from TPL in several respects • FPL organization is often a joint venture between a primary client and one or more partners; • FPL organization acts as a single interface between the client and multiple logistics service providers; and • - all, or a major part, of the client's supply chain is outsourced to the FPL organization.
